Abstract
A compound which is useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for treating neuropathic pain is provided. The present inventors have made extensive studies on compounds having an FAAH inhibitory activity, and as a result, have found that an azole compound substituted with an N-(pyridine-3-yl)oxycarbonyl-piperidin-4-yl group and a phenyl group or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has an excellent FAAH inhibitory activity, thereby completing the present invention. The compound of the present invention is confirmed to have an excellent FAAH inhibitory activity and an antiallodynic effect in rat models with neuropathic pain, and thus is useful as an agent for preventing and/or an agent for treating neuropathic pain.
